Abstract

This article arose from the scandal which broke out in Russia in 2018, when Ulyanovsk cadets made an amateur video clip parodying the Benny Benassi’s musical video (2003). Soon, this video had more than a million views. But official Russian media sharply reproached the cadets’ performance, and even Russian authorities discussed the video. The Russian Internet community issued a lot of videos in support of the cadets. The reaction of Russian media on the cadets’ parody was mainly strong and not always adequate. I am interested in the reasons behind the fear of parody because, in my opinion, the official discourse had nothing to fear. My analysis is based on the Russian theories of parody and the medieval cultural experience. Can parody be dangerous? Why did the official media overreact?
模仿危险吗?
这篇文章源于2018年俄罗斯爆发的丑闻,当时乌里扬诺夫斯克军校学员模仿本尼·贝纳西的音乐视频(2003年)制作了一段业余视频片段。很快,这段视频的浏览量就超过了100万。但俄罗斯官方媒体严厉谴责了这些学员的表现,就连俄罗斯当局也在讨论这段视频。俄罗斯网络社区发布了许多支持学员的视频。俄罗斯媒体对学员模仿的反应主要是强烈的,但并不总是充分的。我对害怕恶搞背后的原因很感兴趣,因为在我看来,官方话语没有什么可害怕的。我的分析是基于俄罗斯的戏仿理论和中世纪的文化经验。模仿会有危险吗?为什么官方媒体反应过度?
